Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 2240: Little Bun Romance 01_2

No matter what, she had followed Lin Yi and learned martial arts for a few years. Although she didn’t learn much because she was lazy, it was really embarrassing to be subdued by someone so easily!

Not only that, this guy even grabbed her by the scruff and brought her back. At the sight of that contemptible middle-aged fat man, Xia Ke felt nauseous.

"Hey! Are you in cahoots with this fat bastard? Let me tell you, don’t think big brother will give the Silver back. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t return it to you!"

Though caught by the other person, Xia Ke’s little mouth was still unyielding, clearly showing the fierce woman demeanor of her mother, Lin Yuan, back in the day.

He Lianyu frowned at the little beggar in front of him, shaking his head helplessly: "You stole someone’s money bag, yet not only don’t you return it, but you’re also so arrogant. Are all the beggars in Dayong like you?"

Xia Ke got even angrier: "What do you mean, the beggars of Dayong? The beggars of Dayong are kind-hearted people. Compared to some corrupt and perverse beings, beggars are much cleaner!"

The beggars are all dirty, some even rarely wash their clothes or hair. How can they be clean?

He Lianyu was somewhat speechless.

"Hero, don’t waste your breath on this little beggar. I have so many henchmen with me, I’m not afraid he’ll run away again. Just leave him to me!"

The middle-aged fat man had long been bitter against the little beggar. Now that he finally caught him, of course, he wanted to vent his pent-up anger. Even his gaze towards Xia Ke carried a hint of ferocity.

He Lianyu had just arrived in the Dayong Capital City today and unexpectedly ran into a little beggar who had stolen from others.

Being straightforward by nature, he couldn’t just stand by and watch evil prevail, so he lent a hand to help catch this little beggar and brought him back.

However, helping to catch a thief doesn’t mean he will allow the fat man to beat him. Moreover, this little beggar looks so thin and frail, how can he withstand the beatings from these big men?

He Lianyu still didn’t let go, holding Xia Ke by the scruff and lifting her, looking at the middle-aged fat man: "The thief is caught, and the money bag is here. I think you shouldn’t make things difficult for him. He’s just a child; he must have done this in a moment of desperation."

Being scratched and clawed by Xia Ke, she was stunned—this guy was actually speaking for her? Before, when she was caught, no one ever spoke up for her. It was always her big brothers who came to rescue her without a trace.

Why does today’s situation feel different?

The middle-aged fat man was displeased upon hearing this: "What this gentleman says isn’t right. This little thing not only stole my Silver but also disgraced me. Who doesn’t know the name of Da Qiangtou on this street? If he had stolen from others today, I definitely wouldn’t interfere, but he had to do it on Taishui’s head! That can’t happen!"

Da Qiangtou? What a terrible name!

Xia Ke made a face of disgust, making Da Qiangtou even more furious.

"Taishui?"

Xia Ke seemed to have heard a joke and burst out laughing: "Da Qiangtou, you still call yourself Taishui? Don’t you have any shame? Yes, everyone knows your name on this street. Why don’t you talk about why you’re so famous? What, embarrassed to say? No problem, I’ll say it for you!"

Because He Lianyu was holding her by the scruff, Xia Ke’s neck was always being strained when she spoke, and her hands kept rubbing her neck.

Seeing this, He Lianyu actually placed her on the ground and released her scruff.

However, he still didn’t let her go, just changed to holding her arm.

As soon as he held her arm, He Lianyu’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. This little beggar was really too thin, with no flesh on her arms at all. When he was holding her just now, it was incredibly light. It seemed she had suffered a lot, stealing money must’ve been a last resort. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Xia Ke was in the heat of her speech, not caring if He Lianyu had let her down, and continued to angrily point at Da Qiangtou and scold: "You, Da Qiangtou, are the local bully of our street! You usually do whatever you want and bully people at will. Those folks from the countryside selling in the stalls, how much money can they earn in a day? Yet you have the nerve to demand their hard-earned money?

Not only that, two days ago, because a little beggar was a bit slow in giving way to you, you had your henchmen beat him up. That little beggar is still lying in the ruined temple! And you, without a word, didn’t even give a penny for medical expenses! To tell you the truth, little grandpa deliberately came to steal your money today, deliberately did it to provoke you! I want you to know, beggars’ lives are lives too, they’re much more noble than you, this filthy vermin!"
